SLIP-N' COVER.

To alt 'whom t may concern Be it known that I, PAUL M. Looxwoon, a citizen .of the United States, residing at {ansas City, in the countyof Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Slip-On Covers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to slip-on covers for cushions, seats and the like and particularly to a slip-.on cover adapted to be attached to the seat of a motor vehicle, the primary object being to provide a slip-on cover which may be conveniently attached to and detached from the seat. The construction is such that-the cover may be caused to tightly fit over the cushion and back irrespective of the variations in the size of the cushion.

l have provided means whereby lthe cover, particularly for the cushion, may be conveniently attached and] held in place but conveniently detached when desired. The seat cushion cover is so constructed that it may be applied and removed without the necessit for employing metal fastening devices. he back cover, however, involves a construction in which certain turn buttons or screw eyes are employed for holding the same in place.

In the drawings,

Figure I is a fragmentary, perspective view of a motor vehicle showing the seats equipped with my invention.

Fig. II is an inverted, perspective view of a seat cushion to which my invention is ap lied.

ig. HI is a perspective view of a seat cushion cover sheet.

Fig. IV is a perspective view of a back cover, and

Fig. V is a fragmentary detail view of a portion of a sheet and the back showing the manner of attaching the back cover.

The seat cushion cover is shown as consisting of a rectangular sheet l having rec- Specication of Letters Patent. Application filed April 22, 1920. Serial No.

tangular notches 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the corners thereof to form side over-lapping portions 6 and 7 and end over-lapping portions 8 and 9. Adjacent to the notch loops 10, 11, 12 and 13`adap-ted to be drawn ample, the one designated 14, and secured by the dlagonal tapes l5 and 16.

portions 6 and 7 may overla the longitudinal edges of the cushion an the portions 8 and 9 may overlalwthe ends, as shown in Fig. H.

hen the tapes and 16 will be connected to the loops and the loops will be drawn taut so that the sheet 1 will be stretched over the cushion in an obvious manner, causshown in Figs. I and Il.

The back slip-on cover is shown as con sisting of a sheet 17 having elongated upper eyelets 18 along its upper edge and eyelets 18 along its lower edge. The back of the seat is provided with turn buttons, shown as screw eyes 19, over which the elongated slots or gromets may be slipped, and then the screw eyes may be turned at right angles to the length of the gromets 18 so as to prevent the back cover member from becoming accidentally released. In the bottom of the seat, or vehicle, are eyes or loops 20 through which a lacing 21 may pass, the lacing alternately passing through an eye or omet 18 and an eye 20, as shown in Fig. The eyes 20 are slightly below the lower edge of the back cover 17 so that the back cover can be drawn taut over the back oi the seat, as shown in Fig. I, to make a smooth covering therefor.

It will be apparent that the covers may be conveniently and to any standard type of seat cushion by placing the sheet upon the cushion, drawing the loops 10 to 13 over the corners of the cushion and fastening the same by suitable means as,

diagonal tapes l5 and 16.

ing the sheet or cover to assume the position more correctly in the floor of the' It will also be apparent that the slip-on covers may be easily removed for laundrying, inspection or-repairs and that they may be conveniently vapplied Without employing 5 special tools or defacing the cushion.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:

l. A slip-on-cover for cushions comprsin a sheet having drop portions and close 10 loops connecting adjacent drop portions adapted to engage under the corners of the cushion.

2. A slip on cover for cushions comprisinga sheet having; drop portions, close loops connecting the corners of adjacent drop portions adapted to engage under the corners of the cushion and means for connecting the opposite loops.

In testimony whereof I aiix m signature.
